Professor Bartolo specializes in Criminal Law with particular expertise in computer crimes, financial crimes, bankruptcy offenses, and crimes against public administration. His teaching portfolio primarily includes Criminal Law II, which covers major categories of offenses against persons, property, public administration, the administration of justice, state security, and public order. He has taught this course continuously since at least 2012, with current offerings for the 2024/2025 academic year.

His scholarly work demonstrates engagement with complex issues in Italian criminal law, particularly regarding mafia-related aggravating circumstances, preventive confiscation procedures, and evolving corruption offenses. The publications reflect both theoretical analysis and practical implications for the Italian justice system, with one 2021 article addressing potential state compensation exceeding €500 million.

Throughout his career, Bartolo has supervised 108 master's theses and founded the journal "Strepitus fori" (Review of Roman Merit Jurisprudence) in 2004, where he continues to serve as director. He maintains regular office hours for students in the Criminal Law Institute's Rocco Room, emphasizing the practical application of criminal law principles through case studies and methodological problem-solving approaches.
